B
【答案解析】[听力原文] Man: Hello Angela. What's wrong? You don't look very cheerful! Woman: Hi Matthew. No, I'm not very pleased. I've just heard Phil Jones, one of my junior managers, has handed in his resignation! Man: Hmm. One of the managers in my department resigned three days ago-and then there were two who left in June. Woman: What's wrong with them? Don't they like working here? Man: Oh, it's not that. We always have dozens of applicants for junior management posts. Woman: Yes, because they know they can get good experience here that'll be useful in the future. Man: Right. And once they've gained some experience with us, they can get a better-paid job somewhere else. Woman: You're right, I know, but why is it always about the money? Man: Lots of people are like that now. I suppose these junior managers are no different... But you know... I think they shouldn't be in such a hurry to leave. They know the company likes to keep staff who are good at their jobs, and there are plenty of opportunities for promotion if they stay longer than two years. Woman: Mmm. You know the most annoying thing? Man: All the hours we spend going through CVs and interviewing for new staff...? Woman: That's part of it. I admit I do get bored doing interviews when you know the person's not right for the job. No, what really annoys me most is the time I spend showing new employees how to do the job. Really, it takes hours, weeks. Man: Maybe we need a review of our recruitment policy. Maybe we are taking on the wrong sort of people. At that conference I went to last month, they said that it's often harder work for a junior manager to join a team of employees if the team got on well with the old manager. The team may decide they don't like the way of working and they may decide to resign too. Woman: Yeah, people sometimes forget how many problems it can cause by even employing one person who is wrong for the company. I don't just mean the cost of recruiting a replacement. Man: Maybe Personnel would let us use an employment agency in future. Woman: I don't think they would, but I have heard they might give applicants who come for interview some sort of personality test. Man: Really! You know some companies employ people who analyse the handwriting of anyone applying for a job. Woman: It's funny you mention that. I was reading an article yesterday about how companies in America do that... to find out how smart applicants are, how motivated they are to succeed, how much self-confidence they have, and so on. Man: How can the way you write prove how clever you are? What nonsense! Perhaps what we need to do here is look more carefully at the CVs we receive-maybe we're not even interviewing the right kind of person. It could even be that our job ads don't attract the right people. Woman: I'm not sure about that. We're basically happy with our junior managers. It's just that some of them don't seem to stay as long as we'd like. Man: Well, maybe we do need a different procedure when we meet the applicants at interview. Woman: Yes, I think you're right about that. Let's fix up a meeting with Personnel to...
